merle haggard – tulare dust / mama tried lyrics
the first thing i remember knowin’
was a lonesome whistle blowin’
and a young’un’s dream of growing up to ride
on a freight train leavin’ town
not knowing where i’m bound
and no one could change my mind, but mama tried
one and only rebel child
from a family meek and mild
my mama seemed to know what lay in store
‘spite o’ all my sunday learnin’
towards the bad i kept on turnin’
’til mama couldn’t hold me anymore
i turned twenty+one in prison doin’ life without parole
no+one could steer me right, but mama tried, mama tried
mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading i denied
that leaves only me to blame, ’cause mama tried
dear old daddy, rest his soul
left my mom a heavy load
she tried so very hard to fill his shoes
working hours without rest
wanted me to have the best
she tried to raise me right, but i refused
and i turned twenty+one in prison doing life without parole
no one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried
mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading i denied
that leaves only me to blame ’cause mama tried
